Ealing · UB5 · Green waste removal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Northolt fitters · Fixed written pricesNortholt UB5 is a regular stop on our Ealing round. The aerodrome, Northala Fields' pyramid mounds and post-war estate housing, so green waste removal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £55, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Northolt, green waste removal here covers supply-free fitting from £55. With 48% of Northolt's 9,850 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in UB5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Roughly how many cubic yards, whether it is soft green waste or heavy soil and turf, and whether there is rear access or everything has to go through the house.
Step 2
Green waste is priced by volume and soil or rubble by weight, so the quote separates the two rather than guessing at one blended rate.
Step 3
Branches and hedge cuttings cut down to fit the van; loose material bagged so nothing spills through a hallway or side return on the way out.
Step 4
Green waste, soil and any rubble kept apart in the van, because the green waste site and the inert tip are two different gate fees.
Step 5
Weighed in at a licensed green waste or inert site and the transfer note emailed the same day.
Why choose us
Two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run. Wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend availability through spring and summer when demand for a one-off garden clearance is highest. Northolt (Central) is the nearest station, so a UB5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Northolt, with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in UB5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Northolt, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 9,850 households inside the UB5 neighbourhood.
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for green and inert waste. Soft green waste is taken to a composting or green waste treatment site, soil and turf to inert recycling, and any invasive plant material identified on site is routed to a licensed consignment facility rather than mixed with standard garden waste.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard | £55 | By volume | Light and bulky rather than heavy, so it is priced on the space it takes in the van, not its weight. |
| Hedge cuttings and branches, per cubic yard | £65 | By volume | Woody material needs to be cut down to fit before loading, which adds labour over a straight bag-and-carry. |
| Quarter-load mixed garden waste | £120 | 45–60 min | A typical small London garden clearance, priced on volume plus the green waste site's gate fee. |
| Half-load garden waste | £210 | 1–2 hrs | Covers a full rear garden clear where there is no side access and everything has to come out through the house. |
| Full Luton load of garden waste | £360 | 2–3 hrs | Full van, two crew and the site fee, typical after years of growth are tackled in one visit rather than several bin cycles. |
| Soil, turf and rubble, per cubic yard | £85 | By volume | These are weighed rather than measured by volume — a yard of wet turf or soil can weigh several times the same yard of hedge cuttings. |

Working in Northolt
Census 2021 puts Northolt at 9,850 households with a median age of 35.1. The inter-war stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 52% houses and 48% flats need different handling in UB5.
Private renting sits at 26% and owner-occupation at 46%; the first group books green waste removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Northolt substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in Northolt, with solid brick on the party and external walls — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Northolt, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 9,850 households inside the UB5 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a UB5 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Northolt knows the pattern near Northala Fields: the aerodrome, Northala Fields' pyramid mounds and post-war estate housing. We plan the UB5 visit around it. Northolt is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout. Northolt (Central) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run.

Grass cuttings and light green waste, per cubic yard starts at £55 in Northolt on UB5 jobs — and Northala Fields a few streets away, with 9,850 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume for soft green waste, weight for soil and rubble, and access on the Northolt rounds. A rear garden with no side return means every barrow load comes out through the house across UB5 — and 48% of homes here being flats, with this being London Borough of Ealing territory, which is the single biggest driver of price in inner London terraces.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on Ealing bookings, with 28% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Northolt most weeks on the Northolt rounds, with 52% of Northolt homes being houses.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Northolt, with Northala Fields a few streets away.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Ealing. With 48% of Northolt homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 48% flats neighbourhood — and Northala Fields a few streets away, with 46% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Registered waste carrier working to duty-of-care rules for green and inert waste on UB5 jobs. Soft green waste is taken to a composting or green waste treatment site, soil and turf to inert recycling on this side of Ealing, with 9,850 households on this patch — and this being a short walk from Northolt (Central), and any invasive plant material identified on site is routed to a licensed consignment facility rather than mixed with standard garden waste. That paperwork is what most Ealing letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across UB5, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant material, which needs a licensed consignment route rather than standard green waste disposal; Tree felling and stump grinding above hedge height for Northolt (UB5) addresses — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, which needs a qualified arborist rather than a clearance crew; Chemical-treated timber, decking oil tins and weedkiller containers, which are hazardous waste and need a specialist carrier; Pond water, fish and livestock waste, with 52% of Northolt homes being houses, which fall outside standard green waste licensing. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Northolt UB5 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Northala Fields, with Ealing parking rules in play.
All three. With 26% of Northolt privately rented and 46% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Northolt — and this being a short walk from Northolt (Central), with 26% of UB5 homes being privately rented.
